However, since World War II there has been a resurgence of interest in German, largely be- cause of the strategic import- ance of Germany in the world- today. The prospects for sec- ondary school teachers in this field are good and the prospects for elementary school teachers are getting better. Prof. Willis then mentioned some of the opportunities for Pool Schedule Set For This Week Women's swimming pool facili- ties will be available to special groups this week.

At this point in the discussion, Miss Webber remarked that there are always lots of oppor- tunities for elementary school teachers and that there is a growing demand for high school and college teachers in every field. * I PROF. Ehrmann said that in the' past 20 years there have been 13 Ph. D. degrees granted to women at the University and that of these 13, eight women are teaching on the college level. This point brought up the question as to the relative de- mand for men and women in various fields, and why men are often preferred to women. On this question, Prof. Felheim noted that although there b s been a growing demand for women in many fields, women themselves often spoil their own chances. He pointed out that many women don't want to be taught by women' and that many women aren't as dices in some businesses againstj women particularly in phases of a job that requires a period of training and apprenticeship. Oft-' en women will start out in a job and then get married and leave before they have completed their orientation to the work. Looking into other career op- portunities, Prof. Graf men- tioned jobs available in the ex- port businessbfor students with training in business and lan- guages, Ile also outlined the ca- reers with government agencies open for linguists, historians and economists with proficiency in a strategic language, Winding up the conference, Prof, Felheim stressed the need for peo- ple with a broad cultural back- ground and added that it was "the general consensus of the pan- el to congratulate you on being women" Pictures Senior Night pictures will be available until Saturday in the Undergraduate Office of the League.
